We are SO close to the opening of Universal Orlando’s NEW theme park, Epic Universe. Now, we’ve already had a chance to check it all out (and you can read about that here).

We also had a chance to check out Epic Universe’s in-park hotel, Universal Helios Grand Hotel. You’ll find some great new dining options at the hotel, too. Well, let’s say you want to book a dining reservation at the hotel…how would you go about that? Well, we’re going to tell you. Here’s a guide on how to nab dining reservations at Universal Grand Helios Hotel.

Flora Taverna

Flora Taverna is a full-service restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast is a buffet, but lunch and dinner offer a full table service dining experience with a menu boasting “Mediterranean comfort foods.” Flora Taverna features an open kitchen, live cooking, a pizza oven, open grills, and a gyros station. It also has amazing views of Celestial Park.

We Just Visited Universal Helios Grand Hotel for the First Time EVER and We Have So Much to Show You!

Bar Helios

Bar Helios is a rooftop lounge on TOP of the hotel, and we think that this restaurant will be super popular just for its location alone, especially as it has a 360-degree view of Epic Universe. The menu includes specialty cocktails, as well as pub food like burgers and sliders, and salads, seafood, and gyros. You’ll also find creative tapas here.

To make reservations, you’ll also find Bar Helios on Resy. Note that this spot is open from 4 PM to midnight on weekdays and from 4 PM to 1 AM on weekends, with food being served from 4 PM to 11 PM.

Cabanas include a fruit platter as well as an assortment of 12 sodas, four waters, and a bottle of Fiji water.
